Conventionally a triangle's height is given as the perpendicular distance to the apex above an arbitarily defined base. Without such a definition, the formula for the area of a triangle, 0.5 x base x perpendicular HEIGHT, would have no meaning. However, a single height measurement given in isolation does not define any particular triangle as that alone can be found in an infinate number of triangles.

How do you make an irregular hexagon out of 6 equilateral triangles?

You Cant. Because A Hexagon Is A Six Sided Shape. And An Equilateral Triangle Is Equal. So You Can Because Everything (As In Sides And Angles Will Be Congruent)


Why cant you have SSA be a proof of triangle congruence?

SSA (Side-Side-Angle) cannot be a proof of triangle congruence because it does not guarantee that the two triangles formed are congruent. The angle can be positioned in such a way that two different triangles can have the same two sides and the same angle, leading to the ambiguous case known as the "SSA ambiguity." This means two distinct triangles could satisfy the SSA condition, thus failing to prove congruence. Therefore, other criteria like SSS, SAS, or ASA must be used for triangle congruence.
